actually, this could be anywhere in the world these days...a little on the blurry side, perhaps overexposed...good light trails though

Josh, Thanks for your comment on my on the beach entry, I thought I would return the favor. I think your composition and lighting on this photo are great. My main critique would be about the actual phot size itself, I wisj it was the full 640 max size, yours is 620, and your file size is 82 kb and the max is 150 kb. using the full file size would have helped smooth out the shot so the small details in the pier would be less jaggedy. Here is the link to the preparing images for challenge tutorial using photoshop. Hor this was helpful, thanks again for a comment.

Very pleasing to look at.

You choose a very difficult image to shot for this challenge, both for the lighting required and for post processing. I think the red section could have used a bit more contrast and could have be lightened just a bit to help the rose stand out more but I still had to give this a 7 for what you accomplished.

very nice. I did something similar in the b/w challenge, but somewhat opposite for contrast :P

nice idea. i think a border would help, and perhaps space (white? black?) between the colored boxes. they don't quite look like they line up either. but i like the concept quite a lot! one of my favorites.

Composition is nice and sky is great, would possibly like to have seen a bit better light on the buildings :o)

Fits the theme perfectly and is well exposed.
